iPhone takes a bullet to save Turkish soldier’s life

The iPhone 6 may have earned a rep as the bendiest device Apple’s ever made, but it turns out the iPhone also doubles as a decent bullet shield.

A Turkish soldier discovered that fact the hard way while battling the terrorist organization PKK. In the middle of a fire fight, a young soldier was hit by a bullet, but thanks to the iPhone tucked in his pants pocket he walked away with his life.

Take a look at the damage:

The 25-year-old soldier named Mustafa Bozok was hit in his right leg. Thanks to the iPhone’s aluminum shell, glass, and chips taking the brunt of the force, the bullet didn’t penetrate his leg all the way.
